Man planted porn in former employer's powerpoint presentation

Walter Powell, 52, of the 3800 block of Frankford Avenue pleaded guilty to charges of hacking into computer systems of his former employer, Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems Inc. He had been fired from his position there in 2009 and admitted to hacking into the computer network multiple times since.

One incident that landed him in hot water involved a powerpoint presentation made by the chief executive and intended to be displayed in front of the board of directors. Powell admitted to inserting pornography into the presentation.

Circuit Court Judge M. Brooke Murdock heard Powell's case, sentencing him to two years in prison with all time suspended, along with three years probation. He must now also carry out 100 hours of community service.

they probably never deleted his accounts to login the network, he prolly didn't hack shit. if this was the case they should be just as responsible for the unauthorized entry. if he did hack it, its his fault for not covering his tracks. he obviously isnt to bright considering inserting pr0n isnt really gonna hurt anyone or anything thats why i think they just left his credentials active. fail for both of them.

Even if his log in was still valid, I dont see a CEO of a company leaving a power point in a networked partition easily accessible to the average employee do you? Unless the CEO just happen to save the power point to the wrong place of course..

I want you to think about what you just said there.

Someone told me once that theres a right and wrong, and that punishment would come to those
who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.

What angers me is the asinine attitude & aplomb that the company went at Walter. The company asserts itself as an agency designed for helping people with addiction. Or that's what the illusion is. When in fact they're nothing more than a paper chase organization grabbing paychecks from the government.

I'm not saying Walter wasn't a douche, but look at just how douchie these folks were in retort... and to be supposedly associated with the betterment of the community? Poke around their site if you don't believe me... LINK

I'm just saying, once again, some little guy gets the sledgehammer dropped on him & made the example instead of others that actually deserve it.

Exactly, and yet this poor guy will be picking up trash next to the highway as these elitists look down their noses & throw their Kopi Luwak latte cups out of the windows of their Mercedes S Class sedan into his face for at least the next 6 months.

I would like to know Walter's side of the story now that I have had a look around these douche bags play ground. All I see them doing is sucking the hind tit of the government. They're not doing anything but running an internet phone book; information already available to the health organizations already tasked at helping the addicts they're immediately in contact with. BSAS Inc. & their snobbish ways would NEVER come in contact with an addict. I.e., they're sterile eunuchs doing nothing but looking busy.

In aggreeance with the other members of the forum, Walter was being childish (not that I wouldn't have tried this either), but there are much more concise & vindictive ways of getting even with your boss (despite being a disgruntled employee) than the old "hey cops!!! he's got kiddie porn in the computer" trick.
